Dogfish Head Craft Brewery’s Burton Baton clone
Mark Sarfarik, Dogfish Head’s Brewmaster, provided us with all the juicy details about this beer. “Burton Baton is a 10% ABV imperial IPA that is a blend of 90 Minute IPA with an English old ale that is aged in our 10,000-gallon (380-hL) oak foeders. Since most people don’t have the ability to wood-age beers at home, this recipe is more of a composite of the two threads.”
Bine should be near brilliant clarity and a burnished golden color with moderate high carbonation. The hop aroma and flavor are intense and feature passion fruit, papaya, grapefruit, lemon rind, pine, and resin. The strong hop bitterness is firm but not abrasive while the dry finish keeps you coming back for more.
